BB
We Agnostics, p.51
When many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness
of the Presence of God is today the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful reason why one should have faith.

Step Two, p.29
Finally, when all our score
cards read 'zero,' and we saw that one more strike would put us out of the game forever, we had to look for our
lost faith.

... faith.
12&12
Step Twelve, p.114
Our basic troubles are the
same as everyone else's, but when an honest effort is made "to practice these principles
in all our affairs," well-grounded A.A.'s seem to have the ability, by God's grace, to take these troubles in stride and turn them into demonstrations of faith.

12&12
Step Two, p.33
True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith, and every A.A. meeting is an assurance
that God will restore us to sanity if we rightly relate ourselves to Him.

12&12
Step Two, p.28
Sometimes A.A. comes harder to those who have lost or rejected faith than to those who never had any faith at all, for they think they have tried faith and found it wanting.

Step Seven, p.72
For just so long as we were convinced that we could live
exclusively by our own individual strength and
intelligence, for just

BB
We Agnostics, p.53
Hence we are at pains to tell why we think our present faith is reasonable, why we think it more sane and logical to believe than not
to believe, why we say our former thinking was soft and mushy when we threw up our hands in doubt and said, "We don't know."
